    Summary

    Anaxa always found himself drawn to the sea.

    The way its waves crash so rhythmically along the shore, unrelenting—but still gentle, and pure, like the soft breezes and brisk mornings that make the air taste of salt. It allows him to forget about the mundanities of the world, things both decided for and expected of him, and in its place there's nothing but a cool, rocking cradle that stretches on to infinity.

    One night, unbeknownst to him, he calls out to the sea; an unexpected, newfound warmth bubbling from his chest. And before he can make sense of it, bury down this troublesome, foreign heat—

    Something calls back, a honeyed whisper dragging him down into the depths.
